Collaboration

Collaboration has been the core behind this learning. As I look at the journey I reflect on the collaboration undertaken, the gems of wisdom shared to keep motivated and learning. What is needed to Collaborate.
What ideas do others have?
Would love to know what others would add to or remove from this list.

Trust
Communication
Common Goals
Respect
Working together
Sharing Ideas
Sharing Expertise
Listening
Risk Taking
Think Tank
Shared load.

I am truly grateful to those sharing the load on this journey.

Week 5 Applied Context in Practice

Legal and Ethical Considerations  According to the Code of Ethics for Certified Teachers, the professional interactions of teachers are  governed by four fundamental principles: ·          Autonomy  to treat people with rights that are to be honoured and defended ·          Justice  to share power and prevent the abuse of power ·          Responsible care   to do good and minimise harm to others ·          Truth  to be honest with others and self   When I read about the ethical problems considered by teachers today, and then also reflected on the huge paradigm shift we as teachers have been required to undertake as technology has been embraced in many fields in education, the technology field is to me the largest development to manage appropriately, however in whose eyes?

I have been teaching for 20 plus years, in the Primary Sector for most of that time, and mainly in year 5-8 area, however I did spend a few years in the Year 0 - 2 area and then to a Year 7 - 13 High School, where Year 9 and 10 were part of the teaching (and learning ) journey. During this time I have had the benefits of a multitude of different groups of people to learn from, develop with, interact professionally and socially, sometimes deliberately, at other times by attrition, all have a role in contributing to the "meaningful knowing" Wenger (2000) that shapes my practice today.
